This document contains detailed instructions and information about every supported system. Anyways, as a general rule, the controls explained in the README.TXT will work for every system, so in a lot of computers and consoles you will use the left stick or the dpad to move, and the A button or the WHITE button to start a game.

Now, specific information about how to use each system:


BALLY ASTROCADE:
---------------
During the game, you can control the movement with the dpad or the left analog stick, and press the A button for Action.

Besides, the Astrocade had a numeric keypad used to select the games and modes. I have mapped some of the number keys in this way:

WHITE Button -> 1
X button -> 2
B button -> 3
BLACK button -> 5

You can redefine the Bally Astrocade specific controls if you need to press any other key.


CASIO PV-1000:
--------------
Easy to play. Normal controls work: 
WHITE button to Start
BLACK button to Select game mode (1 player, 2 players...)
A button is Action


COLOUR COMPUTER (CoCo) 1, 2 and 3
---------------------------------
These systems are similar, and they support 3 types of media: CART, DISK and TAPE, but each type runs better in one model, so we only support the best combinations:

Coco1: Supports CART games. They autoboot (you don't need to do anyhing).

Coco2: Supports both CART and TAPE. CART games autoboot. Tape games are a bit tricky: 
	-TAPE BASIC games: Type CLOAD and RUN 
	-TAPE ASSEMBLY games: Type CLOADM and EXEC

Coco3: Supports both CART and DISK. CART games autoboot. Disk games are a bit tricky: 
	-DISK BASIC games: Type DIR and RUN "gamename" 
	-DISK ASSEMBLY games: Type  LOADM "gamename" and EXEC



EMERSON ARCADIA 2001:
---------------------
WHITE button -> Start
BLACK button -> Select
A button -> 0

The Emerson Arcadia had a numeric keypad. The "0" key (mapped to the A button) is commonly used for "Action", but you can redefine the Emerson Arcadia 2001 specific controls if you need to press any other key.


EPOCH GAME POCKET COMPUTER:
---------------------------
Easy to play. Normal controls work:
WHITE button is Start/Action

You can select a game in the rom list to play it, or you can select the BIOS file to play the internal game of the console.



EPOCH SUPER CASSETTE VISION:
---------------------------
Easy to play. Normal controls work:

A button -> Button 1
B button -> Button 2
WHITE button -> "1" (Start game mode 1). 
X button -> "2" (Game mode 2)
Y button -> "3" (Game mode 3)

To start a game, you will usually need to press WHITE, then another time WHITE, and then A. If you want to start other game modes, you will need to map the keys 2, 3, 4 or whatever to the buttons of the joypad that you want. 
Unfortunately, Virtual Keyboard doesn't work in Super Cassette Vision.



FAIRCHILD CHANNEL F:
--------------------
Controls seems to be different for each game. Buttons A, B and WHITE are usually what you will need. In some games you will need to map other buttons, or even use the second controller.



FUJITSU FM-7:
-------------
It supports both TAPE and DISK games (not multidisk). Disk games autoboot (you don't need to do anyhing).

In TAPE games, type RUN"" and press enter (left trigger). Then in Main Menu go to "Tape Control -> PLAY"
Wait (if it takes a long time, you can Fast Forward pressing both triggers).

If the game still doesn't load, try typing:
LOADM"",,R
Then go to Tape Control and PLAY.



FUJITSU FM77-AV:
----------------
It supports DISK games (not multidisk). They autoboot (you don't need to do anyhing).



FUNTECH SUPER A-CAN:
-------------------
Easy to play. Normal controls work:
WHITE button to Start
Use buttons A, B... during the gameplay
Sound doesn't work for this system.


HARTUNG GAME MASTER:
--------------------
Easy to play. Normal controls work:
WHITE button to Start
A button for Action


MATTEL AQUARIUS:
----------------
Games autoboot (you don't need to do anything). 
Unfortunately, controls are different for each game, so a real keyboard is almost mandatory, or you will need to remap the keys to be able to play each game.


MEGA DUCK:
----------
Easy to play. Normal controls work:
WHITE button to Start
Use buttons A, B... during the gameplay


PC-6001:
--------
Each game has a "number of PAGES" and a "MODE" (this information is usually written in the rom filename).
When launching a game, you must type the number of PAGES and press Enter (Left trigger). 
Then type CLOAD (and press Enter again) and RUN (and press Enter again). They game should start.

Occasionally the machine code monitor is required:
MON
R-0



PC-6601:
--------
Exactly the same than PC-6001



PHILIPS CDi:
------------
Not all the games work, but you can run the most famous ones without any problem. Hotel Mario, Link: Faces of Evil, Zelda: the Wand of Gamelon, Lemmings... work very well.

Games must be copied in the "roms/cdimono1" folder, in the "old" CHD format that used MESS 0.140. The problem is that you will find a lot of games in the "NEW" CHD format in internet, that will not work. For that reason, we have included an script "chd_revert" developed by Madmab, that converts games from the new (unsupported) CHD format to the old (supported) one. 

To convert the games, you have to copy your "new format CHD" files in the same folder than this utility, and launch the script "chd_revert.bat". It will create the "_OLD" files that you will be able to launch with this emulator. 


PHILIPS VG-5000:
----------------
The emulator will automatically type "CLOAD". Then, you only have to open the Main Menu (Start button) and Select "Tape Control -> PLAY". After that, the tape needs a lot of time to be loaded, so I recommend that you keep pressed the Left and Right triggers to FAST FORWARD, and the loading time will be much shorter.


SHARP MZ-2500:
--------------
Games will usually start automatically. You can use the normal controls (A and B buttons...) to play a lot of games (Excite Bike is an example). In some games, you will need to map the controls or use a real keyboard.


SHARP X1:
---------
Games will usually start automatically. You can use the normal controls (A and B buttons...) to play a lot of games (Dragon Buster is an example). In some games, you will need to map the controls or use a real keyboard.


SOCRATES EDUCATIONAL VIDEO SYSTEM:
----------------------------------
This systems doesn't have "roms", so in the rom selection you only need to select any of the BIOS files.

A real keyboard would be very useful to play this system. If you don't have a real keyboard, you can use the Virtual Keyboard, although you will not be able to enjoy all the features of the system (for example, playing the music games is really difficult without a real keyboard).


SORD M5:
--------
It supports both CART and TAPE games. All the CART games start automatically. And almost all the TAPE games autoboot too, because the emulator automatically writes the "chain" command. 

So, only a few TAPE games don't autoboot. If you find one of these games, in Main Menu go to "Tape Control", Rewind the tape and type "tape". This is only needed in a couple of games.

You can use normal controls to play:
WHITE button: Start 1 player game (it is also used for Action in some games).
BLACK button: Start 2 players game
A button: Action


TATUNG EINSTEIN:
----------------
The emulator will automatically type DIR, and the contents of the disk will be displayed.

If the game is a .COM or an assembly one, simply type the name of the game 
and press Enter (left trigger), and the game will boot.

If it is a BASIC game, there is a different procedure: type "xbas" or "1:xbas" to load basic.
Then type: run"gamename" and press Enter.



VTECH LASER 200:
----------------
The emulator will automatically type "RUN", so the game will automatically start without doing anything :)
Each game has different controls, so you will need to use a real keyboard, or map the controls as you need.
